Medicine: Quadruple Caesarean

Ten obstetricians attended one mother at Philadelphia's Lying-in
Hospital last week. So did a pediatrician and four assistants. Some of
the doctors around Mrs. Joseph Cirminello, an SEC secretary, were
merely spectators. But many were needed, because Mrs. Cirminello was
being delivered of quadruplets by Caesarean section under spinal
anesthesiaa feat unique in medical history. The operation was done
six weeks before the normal birth date because the doctors thought that
waiting would endanger the lives both of the mother and her brood. The
obstetrician in charge: Dr. John Calvin Ullery of Upper Darby.
